Cross-slab in Dún Ailt

A subcircular cairn (DG080-022001-) c. 4.6m in diameter and 1.1m in height. Located on top of this is an undressed slab (DG080-022002-) 1.14m × 0.22m to .34m × 0.11m to .18m. There are crosses inscribed on three faces of the slab. The W face has a simple, bar cross with a pear-shaped terminal at the bottom and a rectangular terminal with internal markings at the top. The cross on the N side is a simple Latin cross with a bar terminal on top and on its Warm. On the E face of the slab is a simple Latin cross with bar terminals on each arm. All the lines on the slab are thinly incised and some features may have disappeared through weathering. The site is located in a garden overlooking the Glen Bay inlet in rough, rocky pasture.
